Karou is out for vengeance and has lost herself in her grief and anger. In this book Karou’s path takes a darker turn this is mainly due to Akiva’s heart-wrenching confession at the end of Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I think this is highlighted in Days of Blood and Starlight. These books belong to Karou and Akiva and the journey they take both as a team and as individuals is stunning. The first is consistent character development. The complexity of the characters took my breath away. When it comes to fantasy there are two components that are crucial to me. I continue to be haunted by these characters and I applaud Taylor for the intricacy and care taken in the development of the world and the characters.
Laini Taylor has successfully built a world that is so captivating you find yourself so immersed you forget about everything else. This series is beautifully crafted and driven by emotion.
Now the doors to Elsewhere are closing, and Karou must choose between the safety of her human life and the dangers of a war-ravaged world that may hold the answers she has always sought. She is a secret even to herself, plagued by the sensation that she isn’t whole. Raised half in our world, half in ‘Elsewhere’, she has never understood Brimstone’s dark work – buying teeth from hunters and murderers – nor how she came into his keeping. On the one hand, she’s a seventeen-year-old art student in Prague on the other, errand-girl to a monstrous creature who is the closest thing she has to family. In general, Karou has managed to keep her two lives in balance. ‘He never says please’, she sighed, but she gathered up her things.
